Seven forty-nine
|
Night train right on time
|
Climb the steel stairs
|
Absinthe brandy wine
|
Spirits moving in the steam
|
Compartment forest green
|
The rattle of the rails
|
You fall into a dream
|
|
High clouds in the sky
|
Moon goes racing by
|
Another sleepless night
|
So you speed into daylight
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Here comes another strange town
|
Here comes another breakdown
|
And you can run forever
|
They'll catch you now or never
|
|
In the dinner car
|
And then later in the bar
|
You see yourself reflected
|
I wonder who you are
|
|
The passengers asleep
|
Dream of secrets that they keep
|
In the cabin next to you
|
A woman starts to weep
|
|
And then every day
|
Things you knew all fall away
|
Things you have all disappear
|
As if you were never here
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Here comes another strange town
|
Here comes another breakdown
|
And you can run forever
|
They'll catch you now or never
|
|
And when you arrive
|
You're not sure if you're alive
|
All the passengers are gone
|
Everybody except one
|
Station quiet, station still
|
Nothing moves and nothing will
|
Put your hand up to your face
|
There are things you can't replace
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
Here comes another strange town
|
Here comes another breakdown
|
And you can run forever
|
They'll catch you now or never
|
